Foam rubber deterioration leaves a nasty sticky mess that often smells of ammonia and formalin and acetic acid.

I have made silicone impregnated gun sleeves out of the material used for thin sweat shirts. Some types of silicone can adhere to metal surfaces and are almost impossible to remove, so you have to be careful.

The silicone impregnated gun sleeves and socks are a good choice. Another is open air storage in a safe on a rack with dehumidification inside the safe. I like the sleeves and socks better because they provide some moisture repellent protection.
